UM STAR Application Information

The goal of the UM STAR program is that allTtrainees will be supported for two consecutive summers in the program. We very strongly believe that 2 consecutive summers in the UM STAR program will significantly enhance the Trainee’s experience and maximize their potential for successfully completing a PhD degree in a biomedical or behavioral discipline related to the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular or related diseases.

The University of Maryland is now part of the Big Ten and their educational component, the Committee on Instiutional Cooperation (CIC). As such the CIC maintains the web site above to accept on-line applications for all Summer Research Opportunities (SROP) at CIC institutions.

Note: Transcripts and recommendations will be accepted on the on-line site until MARCH 1. Please allow 10 days' processing time once transcripts arrive at the CIC office for the transcript status on SROP applications to be updated.
